Where is the S 1 nerve?
The S1 nerve is the first sacral nerve. It leaves the the spine via a foramen in the top fused bone of the Sacrum. The sacrum forms the posterior part of the Pelvis and this is where the Root nerve S1 can be found before it quickly joints the lumbosacral plexus.
What part of the body is the spine?
Firstly, the spine is separated into three separate types of vertebrae: the first seven starting at the base of the skull are the cervical vertebrae (and the first specifically being the atlas and second the axis), the next twelve are the thoracic vertebrae, and the last five are the lumbar vertebrae. The spine ends with the large sacrum bone and then ends with the coccyx (tailbone). between these vertebrae are disks of hyaline cartilage. The vertebral column houses the spinal cord. The spinal cord branches out between each vertebrae with nerves that lead to different areas of the body.
How many people have 6 lumbar vertebrae?
The link should help. It says 10% of adults. I know this because I have the same condition except I wasn't technically an adult when I was diagnosed. I hope the link helped.
What are vertebrae and what is their function?
A vertebrae are bones in the spinal column (also called spine or backbone)The function of the spinal column is to protect the soft spinal cord and to support the body and hold the head upright.Plural for vertebra. Bony segments forming the human spinal column.31-33 total vertebrae (most adults have 33 total vertebrae)Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7): 7Thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12): 12Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5): 5Sacral vertebrae (S1-S5): 5Coccygeal vertebrae: 3-5IT IS THE SMALL BONES THAT FORM THE SPINAL CORDvertebrae i a series of bones to make up the spine. A vertabrae is an animal with a back bone. There are five classes of vertabrae: amphibeans, birds, fish, mamals, and reptiles.
How are the vertebrae numbered in the human spine?
The vertebral column which also none as the spinal column is divided into segments made of 32 bones. The Cervical vertebrae has 7 bones which make up the neck. The Thoracic vertebrae has 12 bones and forms the upper back. The Lumbar vertebrae has 5 bones and forms the lower back. The fifth articulates with the sacrum which in turn articulates with the coccyx. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions consist of individual vertebrae. The Bones are labeled according to the region. Example the Cervical region is labelled C-1-7, the thoracic is labelled T-1-12 and the lumbar area is labled L-1-5. The Sacrum consists of fused components of 5 sacral vertebrae. The Coccyx consists of 3-5 coccygeal vertebrae that have fused together.
What is a mild diffuse disc bulge with a small superimposed central disc protrusion at L5-S1?
Between each and every one of your vertebrae, there is a cartilage disc that seperates the vertebrae from each other. Basically, at L5 and S1 (lower back, the disc that is between Lumbar vertebrae number 5 and the first sacral vertebrae) there is a diffuse (spread out) bulge. On top of that, there is also some protrusion of the central part of the disc.
What is a small amount of bridging osteophytosis at the L5 S1 disc level?
In the space between the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebrae, you have small bone growths developing. This is a normal consequence of aging.
Severe facet arthritis in L5-S1?
The L5 is the lowest of the vertebrae of the lumbar and S1 is the first vertebra of the sacrum. Severe facet arthritis is when the sacs between these vertebrae become inflamed and arthritic.
What is narrowing of the disk L4 5?
what is narrowing of the L4-5 disc mean and what can be done to treat it
Where are S1-5 nerves?
S1-5. These nerves enter through the sacral or pelvic vertebrae.
What disks are beginning with C2 and ending with S1 vertebrae?
none of them
What icd code should be used for s1 L5 herniated disc with s1 radiculopathy?
722.4
Do to scoliosis and your l5-s1 disc was broken they took a bone out of your hip and put it in spine?
It sounds like you underwent a spinal fusion surgery due to scoliosis and a broken L5-S1 disc. In this procedure, a bone graft was taken from your hip to help stabilize the spine and encourage fusion between the affected vertebrae. This approach aims to alleviate pain, restore alignment, and improve overall spinal function. Recovery may take time, but it can lead to significant improvements in quality of life.
What does paracentral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level causing mass effect upon the left S1 nerve root mean?
It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!
What are the consequences of lumbarisation of the s1?
Lumbarization (US) lumbarisation (UK) refers to a spinal bone that takes on some of the appearances and physical characteristics of another type of vertebrae or spinal bone. At S1 lumbarisation means the S1 segment, which is usually, one of five fused segments making up the sacrum or tail bone, is not fully fused or attached to the rest of the tail bone. IT is a "sacral" segment that looks like a "lumbar" segment. It appears to be 6th lumbar vertebrae. It may have a disc or a rudimentary disc space. Functionally, a lumbarized S1 usually does not have all the functions of a normal lumbar vertebra. In most instances, this finding is interesting, but does not usually cause pain or disability. In some rare cases the joint may become irritated and painful due to injury.
What does this mean from an MRI L5 S1 disc space is mildly narrowed and the disc is desiccated reactive signal changes in the adjacent vertebral bone marrow?
If you had an MRI and have a mildly narrowed disc space between L5 S1, it sounds like you have a slightly herniated disc. Whenever your doctor gives you a diagnosis, it is best to ask as many questions as possible such as treatment options, pain management, etc.
What does loss of disc signal at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mean?
No
